Materials / States of matter

This is a research-level review volume.

For a few seconds with large machines, scientists and engineers have now created the fusion power of the stars in the laboratory and at the same time find the rich range of complex turbulent electromagnetic waves that transport the plasma confinement systems.

This volume brings the reader up to date on transport phenomena, including electrical and thermal conductivity and infrared properties.

On August 20, 2015, a symposium at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was held in honor of Berni J.

The theory of Finite Size Scaling describes a build-up of the bulk properties when a small system is increased in size.

This workshop discusses the current state and future directions of research in positron - gas scattering, particularly in the relationship between positron and electron scattering by the same atoms and molecules.

This volume compiles the papers presented at the conference which cover the various facets of semiconductor research with emphasis on microelectronics, VLSI and special aspects related to semiconductor applications.

This proceedings covers topics on high Tc superconducting materials, their structure and properties, the devices and their applications.

This symposium focused on new superconductors, electronics, magnet technology, energy and new applications.

This volume contains important and active results in the fields of Superlattices and Quantum Wells.

The importance of the effective mass (EM) is already well known since the inception of solid-state physics and this first-of-its-kind monograph solely deals with the quantum effects in EM of heavily doped (HD) nanostructures.

The book reviews several theoretical, mostly exactly solvable, models for selected systems in condensed states of matter, including the solid, liquid, and disordered states, and for systems of few or many bodies, both with boson, fermion, or anyon statistics.

We have lost one of the giants of the twentieth century physics when Yoichiro Nambu passed away in July, 2015, at the age of 94.
